Confidential Douglas & London client settles lawsuit with New York City Hotel Group which alleged they turned a blind eye to Sex Trafficking in favor of repeated business

NEW YORK, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The attorneys of Douglas & London are at the forefront of fighting businesses who turn a blind eye to cases of human sex trafficking.

Human Sex Trafficking is an epidemic in America is happening in plain sight. Globally, Human Trafficking is estimated to bring in profits of about $150 billion – an estimated two-thirds of which is from sexual exploitation. Hotels, motels, and truck stops are popular venues for sex trafficking business operations due to easy access, lack of security, willingness to accept cash, and lack of intervention.

Douglas & London is on the frontlines of fighting those who profit from human trafficking by perpetuating the issue at the expense of sex trafficking victims. As part of the settlement agreement, the hotels, victim, and settlement amount are confidential, but cases and victims remain in New York City and all across the United States. The client was represented by Randolph Janis and Virginia E. Anello.
